9 PART B: ENGAGEMENT OBJECTIVES P. 9
10 PROJECT CONTEXT Southbank is the most densely populated suburb of greater metropolitan Melbourne with over 92% of residents living in high-rise apartments. The Southbank Structure Plan (2010) and the City of Melbourne Open Space Strategy (2011) are two primary documents that seek to ensure that Southbank meets the challenges of one of the fastest growing suburbs in the City. These documents identify the lack of public open space in Southbank as a key concern. The average recommended provision, per-person, of open space in Melbourne is 22 square meters. In Southbank, there is currently 3 square meters per person. At the same time, the population and density of people in Southbank is increasing rapidly while traffic volumes are decreasing. In 2015, Council conducted a series of tests and microsimulations in order to understand the feasibility of creating new public space along Southbank Boulevard. It considered existing and future traffic projections, solar access, connectivity and service locations in order to produce a draft functional layout plan to illustrate how the road can be changed to create new public realm. This plan proposed that up to 2.5 hectares of new public realm can be created in a linear chain extending from the Domain Parklands through to the Yarra River. Beginning in late 2015, a four phase community engagement strategy was initiated by Council to gain community perspectives and insights in order to inform the design and functionality of this new public space.

12 ENGAGEMENT OBJECTIVES Community engagement seeks to inform, consult and involve stakeholders. This ensures that decision making is transparent, owned by the public, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. In late 2015, the first phase of community consultations sought to introduce the project and encourage and direct people to provide their comments, feedback in the form of a vision for the space. The Phase One engagements received over 700 submissions from City of Melbourne residents, workers, students and visitors. Over the first six months of 2016, the insights and feedback from this first round of consultation were develop into a series of Design Principles and an Ideas Plan intended to support future decision making. Following the creation of this framework, Phase Two engagement was initiated and ran from August 22 to September This round of consultation sought to present back to stakeholder a set of Design Principles and an Ideas Plan informed by Phase 1 consultations and to gain feedback on specific zones along Southbank Boulevard. Phase Three is the final phase of community engagement. It ran from 19 July to 25 August During these five weeks, participants were invited to review and provide feedback on a draft concept plan. The concept plan is a blueprint for creating new public open space. It outlines 10 actions that form the basis of the community s vision for Southbank. These actions are listed along the right hand side of this page. PHASE THREE ACTION AREAS 1. Creating New Open Space 2. Living Link 3. The Melbourne Experience 4. A Shared Journey 5. Public Art in Southbank 6. Arts Gateway - St. Kilda Road to Sturt Street 7. Dodds Street 8. A Civic Square for Southbank 9. Neighbourhood Park 10.

This engagement channel held the highest participation rate, with 35 attendees and 130 recommendations. These included 32 recommendations on landscape design, 29 on placemaking opportunities, and 23 on safety and accessibility. PARTICIPATION MELBOURNE Participation Melbourne is the online engagement platform managed by the City of Melbounre. It allows for direct concept plan feedback. Over the 5 week engagement period, 2,164 users visited Participate Melbourne to view the online engagement. Of this group, only 16 participants chose to provide additional feedback and recommendations. These participants put forward 48 recommendations including: 14 on landscape design, 12 on traffic and movement concerns, and 10 on placemaking. ARTS FORUM Public Art and the City was a panel-led community discussion on public art within the Draft Concept Plan. The event was held at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) on August 19, 2017, with 100 attendees. The P. 13
14 discussion enabled the newly appointed Public Art Strategist for Southbank, Vaari Claffey, the City of Melbourne and community interest groups to discuss public art and the Southbank draft concept plan. The discussion revolved around the role public art can play in a community, how it can showcase a history, play a role in the future and contribute to the draft concept plan as a whole. SUBMISSIONS 13 people wrote directly to the project team at the City Design Office offering 32 recommendations via . These submissions provided valuable insight into the perspective of groups and individuals who have keenly followed the Transforming Southbank Boulevard Initiative. SOCIAL MEDIA In addition, a total of 742 total reactions were recorded through social media. Participants commented on, shared and reacted to the draft concept plan through Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. These reactions were overwhelmingly supportive with most people like-ing heart-ing or expressing wow. On July 18, 2017 a video was released by the City of Melbourne showcasing a visual flythrough of the project. The video was viewed 6,900 times.

15 PART C: INSIGHTS P. 15
16 DATA INTERPRETATION The phase three community engagement was a qualitative research exercise. It asked people to provide high-level thinking on what they would like to see included, changed or removed. In order to strengthen these individual recommendations, the writers of this report have looked to link common ideas into themes. Every effort has been made to represent accurately participant feedback. As such, themes offer a wide range of opinions - some of which may be conflicting. Where relevant, the writers of this report have sought to highlight conflicting views and different perspectives in order to reflect best how people expressed themselves in the engagement as well as the different levels of support they might have for the project. DEMOGRAPHICS Only participants who submitted responses via Participate Melbourne were asked to provide details relating to their Age, Gender and Relationship to the City (i.e. whether they are a Resident, Worker, Student, Visitor, Business Owner or Other). Unfortunately, this group is statistically too small to inform a demographic profile of the whole cohort. As such, this report does not provide a breakdown of participant age, gender, or relationship to the city. The City of Melbourne is committed to providing inclusive and accessible community engagement. While every effort is made to ensure a broad cross-section of the community is consulted, it is not always possible to reflect this within written reports. ACTION AREAS On Participate Melbourne, participants were invited to review an interactive map of the Southbank Boulevard and provide feedback on 10 key action areas. These action areas can be reviewed on page 14 of this document. As a result of the low level of comments received via Participate Melbourne compared with other engagement channels, it has not been possible to organise participant comments into all 10 action areas. Working with the themes established in this report, Part D of this document provides recommendations specific to 5 action areas including: the Arts Gateway, Dodds Street, Civic Square, Neighbourhood Park and Connecting the River. P. 16
17 THEMES OVERVIEW Overall, participant comments provided in this final phase of the community engagement focused on the physical design of the new public space. Along with recommendations on landscaping, participants wanted to know how the community could interact and better utilise the space in the future. They highlighted the opportunity of hosting events, additional placemaking to make the space more comfortable and inviting, as well as a mix of active and passive spaces that could be used for reflection or recreation. Participant comments have been categorised into the following six themes and 17 sub-themes.

One participant commented: As the most direct route to the West Gate Bridge (along Power St), residents of Southbank Boulevard and Kavanagh Street are constantly exposed to traffic jams, noise and pollution. Has any consideration been paid to this? How is this problem going to be resolved? 6 participants listed the intersection of Southbank Boulevard and City Road as pain points. One participant commented: Traffic along City Road to Power St (into Westgate Freeway) is terrible during 5pm-7pm. Are you sure Southbank Boulevard could not be used to divert the traffic a little bit? 4 participants strongly disapprove of the lack of parking options. One participant noted: The sheer lack of parking available for visitors of residents whether they be family, friends or anyone else visiting residents.

One participant noted: I like the vision for the native landscape. Others suggested adding more greenery, and rethinking the choices of planting. Participants emphasised their desire for trees that allow shade in the summer, and sun during the winter months (such as deciduous trees). One participant commented: This is a very hot, glaring area for walkers. We really rely on the trees for shade. Can we have some temporary shade structures while waiting for the new trees to grow? 2 participants said they loved the native garden. A further 2 participants recommended having more native plants and trees in the design. One participant noted a desire to see the current trees - some of which are to be removed as part of the plan - taken to a new homes. P. 22
23 SURFACES AND MATERIALS 14 Recommendations 35% of Landscape Design Recommendations 14 participants made recommendations on the choice of hard surfaces used in the design. 3 participants did not support gravel as a ground cover material. One participant recommended: No salt / gravel please, not stable, horrid in rain too. 3 participants requested more green ground cover and less hard surfaces. One participant commented: Rather than an occasionally used and fenced-in basketball area, a multi-purpose grassy section with benches would be more practical. Another stated: I am disappointed that there isn t more green groundcover. The gravel/sand areas are not conducive to using this space for R&R. Note the desolate space that exists outside ACCA. Other suggestions included a more consistent paving, or the use of a bluestone paving. ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY 9 Recommendations 23% of Landscape Design Recommendations 9 participants considered how the project might include more environmental sustainability features. 3 participants wondered how the project could include more green infrastructure, roofing and innovation.

One participant stated: To attract people, please put in some BBQ pits (same as those along Yarra River), so people would have a good reason to get out from their little apartment in Southbank and spend substantial time in the park. 4 participants strongly disagreed with noise pollution from the Victorian College of the Arts. One participant said: I m a local resident, and I m quite concerned about potential noise from the area in front of the ABC building. Will there be time and noise limits on any events happening there? 3 of participants requested a large amount and variety of seating. One participant commented: I would like to see lots of benches and picnic tables. 2 participants requested picnic tables and more seating options. One participant requested widespread access to wi-fi. P. 24

28 CYCLE FRIENDLY DESIGN 17 PARTICIPANT RECOMMENDATIONS 8% OF RECOMMENDATIONS Participants strongly supported the cycling friendly design. As one participant noted, the concept plan fully incorporated the insights gained from the previous two phases of community engagement. Within the cycle friendly theme, 12 of participant recommended design improvements. A further 5 participants commented on shared space issues. A comprehensive review of the proposed cycling plan was submitted by the Melbourne Bicycle Users Group and the Port Phillip Bicycle Users Group. The recommendations of this report are extensive and detailed. Council officers will review these recommendations separately but wish to acknowledge the Melbourne Bicycle Users Group for completing this submission.

One participant commented: Great to see proper, fully separated bicycle lanes. A further 4 participants provided recommendations for improving the cycling experience and cyclist safety. 3 participants supported the draft concept plan s emphasis on pedestrian and cyclist safety. One participant noted: There are countless examples of minor details in this design that are far superior to the previous. E.g. the pedestrian safety on Fawkner Street has been vastly improved. It really shows that you were listening to all of the consultation sessions. P. 28
29 SHARED SPACE 5 Recommendations 29% of Total Recommendations 3 participants supported large buffer distances between cars, public transportation and cyclists. One participant noted: There seems to be some different choices made at different intersections about how far cyclists are to stop ahead of cars. On the corner of Kavanagh Street it s 2m but on Moore it s 1m. 2 participants recommended an emphasis on pedestrian and cyclist shared space, specifically along the Yarra River. One participant noted: We only need one pedestrian to be knocked over by a commuter cyclist in a hurry, in such a manner that they hit their head and die, to create a change in policy. As an older person, often with grand children, I am often frightened by the determined onslaught of the Lycra brigade. Currently there can be no restful, relaxing, walk by the Yarra.

32 ARTS GATEWAY QUICK FACTS 17% of recommendations related to the Arts Gateway area (36 participants). Within the Arts Gateway area, 53% commented on traffic and movement. 31% participants commented on placemaking opportunities. SOURCE: PARTICIPATE MELBOURNE, ARTIST IMPRESSION RECOMMENDATIONS 8 participants expressed their desire to see more public art. One participant commented: Is there any way that the NGV wall and arts centre car park walls can be activated? With this being the arts precinct it would be a great idea for artists to find a way of bringing this expanse of boring wall space alive! Other comments included: We wish there were more walls for public art. Another suggested opportunities for collaboration: Finding a common theme to draw people through the new parkland is an exciting opportunity. Would be a great community project to engage the local students from the VCA with. Several participants wondered how the arts precinct would be integrated. One participant suggested: Bring in the indigenous story of this area out through art. 4 participants strongly supported the super tram stop. One participant said: In regards to the super-tram stop and lawn style greening of the tram tracks, Great idea! Another participant strongly disagreed and commented that it would be burdensome to maintain and added no value. P. 32

One participant asked, Will the tram stop offer cover for passengers from rain above and road spray? 2 participants disagreed with the proposed double traffic light adjacent to the tram stop. One participant noted: I am concerned that having 2 traffic lights in front and back of proposed super tram stop will impede traffic flow.

34 DODDS STREET QUICK FACTS With only 5% of the total recommendations, the Dodds street area revamp had the lowest engagement of any precinct (10 participants). Within the Dodds Street recommendations, 60% of participants explored placemaking opportunities. A further 20% of participants recommended landscape improvement opportunities. SOURCE: PARTICIPATE MELBOURNE, ARTIST IMPRESSION SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS 3 participants strongly supported a diverse array of activation options. Participants asked for a range of free and ticketed events, activity on the weekend and intentional activation to connect the space. One participant noted: The Dodd Street connection is probably the hardest part of this project to visualise when complete. I think the main problem with this area is how do you activate it better? At the moment when I walk down here it doesn t feel like a good connected space. And certainly at night time it feels uninviting and less secure than nearby streets. 2 participants thought that having a public space so close to the Victorian College of the Arts would generate high levels of noise pollution. One participant commented: I would like to see sound addressed with the new open space at VCA through to Sturt St. P. 34
35 DODDS STREET # % Placemaking 6 60% Landscape Design 2 20% Cycle-Friendly Design 1 10% Project Delivery 1 10% Total: % Table 11: Dodds Street 3 of participants supported more placemaking. Recommendations included way finding signage, public toilets and night-time safety activation. As one participant commented: I would like to see signage and way finding, and what s on! How do people know? TRANSFORMING SOUTHBANK BOULEVARD PHASE THREE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT P. 35
36 CIVIC SQUARE QUICK FACTS The Civic Square portion of the draft master plan garnered 13% of total recommendations (27 participants). Within the Civic Square recommendations, 33% of participants explored landscape design. 19% of participants commented on placemaking opportunities and 2% recommended improvements for cycle friendly design. SOURCE: PARTICIPATE MELBOURNE, ARTIST IMPRESSION RECOMMENDATIONS 6 participants thought the choices of plants and trees could be improved. One participant noted: The use of evergreen green trees is a very poor choice (many of which do not appear to be indigenous to this part of Victoria anyway) Southbank Boulevard is already heavily overshadowed by buildings in winter - evergreen trees will make this significantly worse. 3 participants requested more native plants used in the landscaping: I would like to see native greenery rather than grass at ground level. 4 participants strongly disagreed with gravel as a pedestrian surface material. One participant commented: Don t like the idea of loose sand and gravel as a pedestrian surface - slippery, scratchy, hurts kids. P. 36
37 CIVIC SQUARE # % Landscape Design 9 33% Placemaking 5 19% Traffic and Movement 5 19% Placemaking 5 19% Project Delivery 3 11% Cycle-Friendly Design 2 7% Total: % Table 12: Civic Square 3 participants recommended more inclusive and accessible design features to support the elderly and people living with disabilities. One participant said: What happened to ramp to Stuart St. top to back arts centre - original concept? Make area more accessible. 4 participants recommended traffic and movement improvements. One participant commented: We wish the 2 lanes exit from Moore St. Connection with the city to be strengthened. While another said: Concerned about left turn Southbank into Sturt. Car lane merges in and out of tram lane. Risk of car / tram collision? TRANSFORMING SOUTHBANK BOULEVARD PHASE THREE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT P. 37
38 NEIGHBOURHOOD PARK QUICK FACTS 16% of recommendations related to the Neighbourhood Park action area (33 participants). Of this group, 33% commented on safety and accessibility. 27% of participants recommended placemaking improvements. 18% discussed landscape design. SOURCE: PARTICIPATE MELBOURNE, ARTIST IMPRESSION RECOMMENDATIONS 6 participants supported a focus on children. One participant noted a safety concern with the proximity to the road: With this area set to attract kids, also consider some native plantings near the roadway as a natural barrier to prevent kids running out onto the street. 5 participants noted concern with flow of traffic. Kavanagh Street was of particular concern. One participant commented: Traffic congestion in the peak hour on Kavanagh St is a concern. Another noted: I was wondering whether anyone has considered the volume of traffic west-bound along Kavanagh Street? Too many vehicles are turning into Kavanagh Street (from Southbank Blvd) and in particular those north-bound (from St Kilda Rd) at the peak, PM hours. As the most direct route to the West Gate Bridge (along Power St), residents of Southbank Blvd and Kavanagh Street are constantly exposed to traffic jams, noise and pollution. P. 38
39 NEIGHBOURHOOD PARK # % Safety and Accessibility 11 33% Landscape Design 6 18% Placemaking 9 27% Traffic and Movement 5 15% Cycle-Friendly Design 1 3% Project Delivery 1 3% Total: % Table 13: Neighbourhood Park 3 participants supported making the area pet friendly. One participant commented: We wonder if the spaces will be pet friendly - drinking bowls, bags, grass? A further 3 participants strongly supported installation of public barbeques. One participant said: To attract people, please put in some BBQ pits (same as those along Yarra River), so people would have a good reason to get out from their little apartment in Southbank and spend substantial time in the park. A group of 3 participants recommended more seats and access to picnic tables, and an additional 3 strongly supported the greenery plan for the area. One participant remarked: Excellent planting concept - great that the plane trees will go! TRANSFORMING SOUTHBANK BOULEVARD PHASE THREE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT P. 39
40 CONNECTING THE RIVER QUICK FACTS 16% of all recommendations related to the Connecting the River action area (34 participants). Of this group, 24% expressed concern over safety and accessibility. 21% of participants commented on landscape design. SOURCE: PARTICIPATE MELBOURNE, ARTIST IMPRESSION RECOMMENDATIONS 6 participants voiced strong concerns over pedestrian safety around City Road. One participant commented: We wonder if crossing City Road is safe for pedestrians. Another recommended: I would like to see more time allowances for pedestrian crossing at traffic lights. I find I only just have enough time to cross road. 4 participants commented on pedestrian and cyclist interactions, particularly around City Road crossing. One participant noted: We wish there was a bridge for pedestrians and bikes over city road to create a continuous path of public space. 3 participants voiced concerns over cyclist and pedestrian interactions along the Yarra River. One participant recommended the following: I travel along Yarra Promenade and Southbank Promenade through to the rowing sheds twice daily. Usually by bicycle. Your current design concept doesn t seem like a better alternative than the current process of weaving through pedestrians P. 40
41 (CONNECTING THE RIVER # % Safety and Accessibility 8 24% Landscape Design 7 21% Cycle-Friendly 5 15% Project Delivery 5 15% Traffic and Movement 5 15% Placemaking 4 12% Total: % Table 14: Connecting the River on the promenades. An elevated bike path, or a bike path tunnel through here would be better alternative. 2 participants strongly disagreed with the Red Stage and wished to see it lowered or removed. A further 2 participants supported the basketball courts. One participant said: Yes love the Basketball court! Indeed we need more sport facilities in Southbank please! An indoor one (which can be used in Winter & night time) would be even better! Alternatively, 9% of participants did not support the basketball court. One participant noted: Instead of basketball court (noisy, large space) consider park land with exercise stations e.g. bars, rings etc. TRANSFORMING SOUTHBANK BOULEVARD PHASE THREE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT P. 41
